Sandwich was messy, fell apart and was dripping sauce everywhere. Definitely something to eat while sitting down somewhere. Still was really good though! A little pricey for everything there though.

Super delicious! I had the BGT sandwich, a nitro cold brew, and a turmeric shot and I feel so ready for my day! The sandwich was perfect, the coffee was excellent, and the turmeric shot literally turned my day around. The shot wasn’t bitter or sour and was perfectly balanced with the black pepper and lemon. I will definitely be a repeat customer! I wish I had photos to share but it was so tasty I finished it all so quickly!!

My previous visits here have been good and I enjoy the food and juices. This visit however was a struggle. They had a new, young girl up front all by herself filling orders and was flipping through a binder for help while it seemed workers just watched. She did her best and even smiled and greeted guests as they came in. There was a point I saw 4 guys walk into the back, two in black shirts and the other two in like flannel (which felt unprofessional)— none of them came out to help her as she was drowning and took their seats again. I even saw a guy in a black shirt, that appeared to work there some how, be on his phone and say she’s really struggling. It took more than 30 minutes for her to have my order ready when I was told it would be ready by 2:20pm. She was so apologetic and I told her don’t worry, and that she should have help being new. It was at that time the guy that had that phone call and probably heard me say you should have some help darling, got up and I hope he went to help cause then I left. I hope my next experience there is better and that she not get fired for lack of support.

Great Food, great people. The Vegan sandwich with tomatos is my all time favorite! Pistachio Latte is now a staple of my morning.

EDIT: Why would I use my actual name? So you can retaliate? My inside knowledge should be enough to tell you all that I did in fact work here. If you really value your health please don't go here. I worked here but quit due to unfair treatment of staff and my checks constantly bouncing. The kitchen is disgusting and any attempts that we made to better the restaurant were talked down by management. The food is subpar for the price... $11 for a cheap bagel with chicken and veggies on it is not a deal, and every drink is like $6 starting. You're spending $20 for anything remotely resembling a meal here. I was one of the only ones who cleaned the machines properly, owners refused to hire actual companies to make deliveries and insisted on buying produce from Walmart and Aldi to cut costs (nevermind that this prevents food contact tracing and is not safe for a restaurant). Half the equipment was broken and when asking for new essentials (i.e. a blender to BLEND essential mixes for smoothie bowls and drinks) we were told we were "ungrateful" for what we had (which was broken stuff). Checks regularly bounced, with owners using zelle or cash app or even saying "just take money out of the drawer" to pay wages. The food is way too overpriced to have staff checks bounce. It's not like you shouldn't prepare weeks in advance to make sure there's money in the accounts. Another note about the food, the "cold-pressed" juices are a lie, OJ is store bought Tropicana, and Apple juice is cider/apple juice from concentrate. We were routinely told to lie to customers about benefits and about where the juice was coming from ("fresh-squeezed"). You're better off juicing your own stuff. Everything in the kitchen was cross-contaninated because it was literally impossible to get management to provide us with safe storage solutions. Roaches constantly in the back. I would try to dissuade people from buying certain products because I knew that the food was overpriced for the value. We we

Overpriced for such small portions. Staff are underpaid. Tasty smoothie bowls, concerned about the food safety at this location.

The bagel was incredibly stale and dry. I am sure it was the location because I ordered the exact same thing from a different one and it was GREAT. The owner took my order and was beyond rude and it is obvious that management is poor. Workers seem very unhappy and distraught from bad management. 1/5 experience.

This Restaurant demeans their employees and gives them terrible pay making them earn below minimum wage. They fire their employees when they speak up for themselves, and tell them that they’re creating a toxic environment by doing so. Do not let your teenagers work here and don’t shoot any promo videos.

Fired their best worker. Terrible place to work and eat. this location should be permanently shut down. It is one of the most dirty disgusting places I've ever seen. Worked there years ago and they had roaches so bad you can watch them crawling all over the blenders, dishes, and employees. Still have roaches because they never fixed any problems. Managers are all awful. Keep you at minimum wage for years and tell you if you work hard they'll give you a raise. Laughable considering one of their old employees created drinks, had his picture on the menus, had every customer coming in asking for him and had been there since they started up but was making only one dollar more than me after he was there years longer than me. Also their orange juice is often Tropicana, apple juice is Simply Pressed, and their water bottles are tap water. DIRTY DISGUSTING LIARS. save yourself and go to Café Stella or any other coffee place in the area.

The Norfolk location is great! I especially loved talking to Consuelo. She has such a warm, friendly and personable personality. She helped me buy a delicious bag of espresso! Will be coming back.

I don’t like this location. I ordered a fresh Veggie sandwich. I used DoorDash because I was at work and couldn’t leave. The door dash delivery person sent me a text that they were out of avocado. I was fine with that. As long as everything else was on the sandwich. Unfortunately I received a totally different sandwich with some type of smoked salmon. This is not DoorDash fault it’s the restaurants mistake. The bag had the correct order on the receipt but the wrong sandwich in the bag. When I called the store the customer service was poor. They said that there wasn’t anything that they could do. When I asked for a manager they said no. They placed me on hold. I ended up hanging up. I wasted money and I was still hungry.

Ordered a coffee with cream. Tasted like no coffee-just hot water and milk. $4 wasted. Also, they refuse to have decaf. Will walk to Cafe Stella from now on.

Customer service was poor, never spoke to me except to ask "is that all?" after ordering. Packed my food to-go without even asking if I wanted to dine in. Mushroom Swiss bagel sandwich was wet and not flavorful.

The food, service and atmosphere was all good. Bit on expensive side but the food and coffee are both worth it. Especially their pistachio milk. Better than starbucks!

Employees are friendly and the coffee is great. However if you get a simple sandwich prepare for a long wait.🤨 It’s crazy how slow they are.

This location SUCKS!!!! I've been waiting an hour for my food after ordering online then coming in to pick it up. I didn't receive any greeting upon arriving. The kitchen staff and front of house staff were playing around rather than making everyones' order! This location is a disgrace. I visited the one in town center multiple times and have never dealt with the blatant disrespect from This location. Shut it down. Second time coming here and the quality sucks!'

Loved the atmosphere, the customer service, and the food! I got the vegan breakfast sandwich and the energy rejuvenator smuice and both were absolutely delicious!! I was eyeballing the strawberry muffin they had but didn’t end up buying it, and to my surprise, the kind associate gave me a strawberry muffin to try with my order! I really appreciated that extra effort. Will definitely be returning!
